Abstract
High-resolution measurements of the photoinduced L and M x-ray spectra of metallic thorium and M x-ray spectrum of metallic uranium were performed with transmission-type and reflection-type bent-crystal spectrometers. Linewidths of and x-ray emission lines of thorium and of x-ray emission lines of uranium were extracted. Using these results and those of Hoszowska et al. [Phys. Rev. A 50, 123 (1994)] for the L x rays of uranium, by means of a least-squares method we have determined the level widths of the subshells to of thorium and uranium.
